Determinants of day-1 stent patency following rescue intracranial stenting in failed intracranial thrombectomy.

ABSTRACT: IntroductionThis study aimed to identify factors affecting stent patency in patients treated with rescue intracranial stenting (RIS) for a refractory intracranial occlusion following mechanical thrombectomy (MT), focusing on antithrombotic regimens, and types of devices used.Material and methodsData from 14 university hospitals spanning from 2015 to 2021 were utilized, concentrating on patients who underwent MT in the anterior circulation. The primary outcome was stent patency on follow-up imaging at day 1.ResultsThroughout the study period, a total of 101 patients received RIS at 14 centers for refractory anterior large vessel occlusion (LVO). Amongst the 101 implanted stents, 18 were coronary and 83 were neuro-stents. Seventy-six patients were given a double antiplatelet (AP) regimen fol
